Love Redefined

Chapter 33

Copter opened his eyes despite headache he had and was looking down at Tae, who sleeps uncomfortably on the chair with his head on his side of the bed. His pitiful P'Tae. He wonders if that how he slept the whole time he was in coma. They told him he was in coma almost a month. That was pretty long and he didn't want Tae to get hurt because of him.

Copter then slowly moving his weak hand and was about to touch Tae's head while calling him, when he felt difficulty just to call Tae.

Last night, he felt difficult to answer Tae no matter how much he tried, he couldn't form a single words properly, so he decided not to say anything and take his time. At that time , he thought maybe because he just woken up from a long coma, but now that kind of affect should have been gone. He tried once again to call Tae while his hand stroking Tae's head.

"P......Tae. P..........T..t..Ta...e." even that, makes him feel tired and that difficulty makes him worried. He swallowed his saliva and was trying again to waking up Tae.

"P....T...t..Ta...e." Now he confirms it. He could feel it. And the scared feelings he had creep into all his vein he felt a little chill. What happened? This should be a moment thing, right? Because he just waking up from coma, isn't it? He will be okay. In time, he knew he will be okay, right?

Copter was drowning in his own thought when suddenly someone had greeted him, taking him out from his thoughts and Tae was slowly and groggily waking up.

"Good morning, Mr Copter. Looks like you are already waking up. Oh, good morning Mr. Tae." Tae was looking at the doctor when the guy mentioning his name and just murmuring his morning replying to the guy and was turning to Copter right away.

"Baby, how do you feel today?" Copter was smiling as sweet as he could, but was afraid to say anything. At least he didn't want Tae to be aware about his situation just yet. He didn't want the guy to worried more than he already is. Then his stomach decide to growl right now, safe him from making any reply, and making Tae and the doctor smiling, and he was red with embarrassment.

"Baby, don't have to feel embarrassed. How about I let the doctor check on you and I will go buy you some food. Your favorite's food, okay?" Hearing Tae, Copter was nodding his head eagerly, for he knew this is his best chance to talk about him with the doctor.

"Wait for me, okay." Tae then standing up and walked out of the room while the doctor keeps on checking his chart and all the machines that was connected to him.

"D...d.." feelings difficult even to call the doctor, Copter was moving his hand slowly and was tugging at the doctor's robe, taking his attention. Feeling something tugging on his robe, the doctor was looking back to see the culprit, making him frowning looking back at Copter who was looking at him.

"D...doct...or, w..wh...y i...." seeing how difficult Copter was to talk, the doctor now turning to him completely, giving him his full attention. And seeing how difficult Copter to talk to him, the doctor cut Copter right away.

"Mr. Copter, did you have difficulty to talk?" Copter could just nods his head.

"Is..t..th....." Copter was trying to ask him again, but was cut once again by the doctor.

"We need to do more checking. Let's have some MRI. I need to call Mr. Tae..." the doctor was now taking his phone out and was about to dial the number when suddenly Copter pulled his hand, making him turned to Copter, who was shaking his head vigorously. The doctor was sighing, for he understand Copter's actions.

"But he should know about your situation, Mr. Copter."

"L..ets....c...con...fi..r..m m....my con...d.di...t..ti..on f...f..fi..fi...rs..st." Copter took a long breath after finishing his words and the doctor was nodding his head understanding.

"Let me make some call first to ask about the availability." The doctor then walk away a little bit and was making a call to someone for a while before coming back to Copter.

"The MRI is free right now, we should be able to do it. In a while, nurses will come here. I know you want to confirm things first, but Mr. Copter, as your doctor, I need to prepare you for the worst. You hit your head very badly in the accident and this might have been the cause. However, we will still confirming after we took the MRI test. After the result is out, I think you should let Mr. Tae knew your condition. You need support from someone who cares, so that you could heal faster."

Copter was just hearing the doctor's words without saying anything nor reacts to it. He understand whatever he said, but he didn't want to be selfish. If his condition......turned out to be bad, he just didn't think he should be a burden to Tae.

Tae came back with pack foods but only to be shocked with an empty room, not even the bed was there. He came inside the room when he was looking around he saw some kind of paper. He knew Copter's writing style, that telling him they went for a regular checkup x-ray and everything, telling him not to worry and just waiting for him in the room.

Reading the notes, Tae was sigh out a relief sigh. He was so nervous the minute he saw the room was empty, afraid for the worse, but it turns out it was just a regular checking. He didn't know why, Copter still didn't say a word after waking up, but keeps on smiling to him. He was happy to see the smile despite his condition, but there's something tugging in his heart, he wasn't sure of. But he didn't want to ponder on it, but to focus on Copter. Only on Copter.

He then putting the pack foods on the side table and taking his seat on his usual chair. To avoid from thinking nonsense, Tae took out his phone and playing games to distract his mind while waiting for Copter.

Sometime later, he saw two male nurses pulling and pushing Copter's ward bed into the room while the doctor was tagging along from behind. Tae was standing up, waiting for Copter's bed in position before coming closer to Copter to check on his conditions. He was looking at Copter while holding his hand before turning around looking back at the doctor who was plugging back all the machines.

"How about his condition, doctor? Any progress?" he asked.

"We just take the test and we need to wait for the result. But in the meantime, I think you need to have a talk with Copter to better ready for the outcome of the result. Even though the official result will only ready later, but his condition right now is a fact that we couldn't deny. When the result out, only then we will knew whether his condition is prune to permanent or could be cured due time. I'll see you both later when the result are out. Excuse me."

Tae was frowning hearing the doctor and was taking his seat and focused on Copter, a little anxious.

"Baby, what is he talking about? What kind of condition?" Copter's expression then changed from the calm to a panic right away. He wasn't sure if...he was actually afraid, and ashamed, and he didn't want to be only a burden to Tae. He had been nothing but that this whole time.

Seeing how Copter's expression changed, Tae knew he had to calm Copter down.

"Hey, hey baby, it's okay. It's okay. No matter what, you could tell me, okay. No matter what, it's fine with me. No matter what your condition is, it's fine with me. So, don't think too much, okay?" Tae was trying to calm Copter down, but Copter's tears just flowing down making his heart sunk looking at it. It must had been hard for his baby, plus all the wound on his body. How could he missed this? He feels awful now.

"I...i..i'm s.s.s.o..so..r...sor..ry P...P...T..ta...e." Hearing Copter, Tae was shaking his head. "No, baby, no. Don't say sorry. None of this is your fault, okay. Just calm down, and talk to me slowly, okay."

This time, Copter was the one shaking his head slowly, while his tears keeps on flowing nonstop.

"T...t..ha...t's i..it, P. I...I c..c..a..n..t t...t..ta..l..k p...r.o..op.per n...n..o..w." Tae was stunned when he heard Copter, but the tears on Copter's eyes keeps on flowing even faster.
